​​WHO IS THE GANG BEHIND

THE GREAT BRASSMONKEY BAY JEWEL ROBBERY?

A shipment of  endangered animals ends in a devastating accident at the gates of Brassmonkey Bay Zoo. The twist of fate that has deprived five Australian rainforest animals of their freedom makes young Canadian Zookeeper Pip Paladin a captive too--in a hospital room!

To comfort her twin brother and their friends as she painfully recovers, Pip invents a hilarious escapist tale, The Great Brassmonkey Bay Jewel Robbery, inspired by the five animals whose confinement she has come deeply to share, feel and resent. Her unforgettable characters--both real and fictional--become a compelling diversion for the twins' friends from the outdated demands of their final year of school, helping the graduates shape a bold vision of change based on respect for all who live on a shared planet. ​​
